Shino yaki – is a traditional form of Japanese ceramics that originated in the Mino area in what is now Gifu prefecture in the 16th century. Shino yaki is characterized by a thick white glaze created with a mixture of feldspar and clay, although the colors of the vessels range from orange to gray as well based on firing technique and other clay slips utilized. This glaze was the first white glaze used in Japan. Shino yaki was historically associated with Mino yaki and Seto yaki, but can now be used as a term to describe any ware that utilizes a shino glaze. This glaze technique fell out of fashion in the 19th century and the formula was only rediscovered in the 1930’s and 40’s by Toyozo Arakawa and Hajime Kato. Incidentally, shino glazes are also very popular within the American tradition of ceramics, although it uses different formulas for the glaze from what is traditionally utilized in Japan.

Nezumi shino – “mouse shino”, a gray colored shino yaki that is created with an iron rich clay slip that is painted on the vessel body.
Crawling shino – a type of shino glaze in which the white glaze beads and leaves the underlying clay body exposed.

Mino yaki has been produced for over a millennium but came to prominence during the Momoyama period in the 16th century under the influence of tea masters like Sen-no-Rikyu. Mino yaki is responsible for the majority of Japanese ceramic output today.
